Bio
Dr. Kumar is a vibrant, thoughtful, and conscientious scholar, with a clear dedication to health advocacy through social justice. We collaboratively taught a policy development course to masters students in public health, and are co-authors with others on a manuscript on metrics in community engagement. Dr. Kumar's theoretical knowledge and insight, as well as his ability to apply leadership principles to practical social justice issues makes him a delightful colleague with whom to work.
I have known Dr Anant to be the quintessential professional. He has the ability to look at things from a completely different perspective which most people usually miss out. He builds enduring relationships with his colleagues and delivers whatever he takes up with a passion. I have seen him evolve into the successful role he is playing today. His enthusiasm and passion combined with his uncanny knowledge across development sectors, enables him tide over any bumps along the way.

The Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment helps social workers firmly grasp developing issues in human behavior theories. It provides an outlet for empirically based articles about human behavior theory that facilitate social workers’ practice goals. This innovative journal is the first to address the complexities of human behavior in relation to social work and its relevancy to practice. This makes it an essential resource for classes in human behavior in the social environment. Articles provide you with groundbreaking, up-to-date information on developments in empirically based human behavior theory. They address conceptual and empirical foci which study human behavior as a complex phenomenon. Supported theories target specific behaviors for change, possess clarity by describing in detail the intended change(s), predict the change(s), and facilitate the desired behavioral change(s) through implementation of the model theory.
